Born in South Africa and brought up in southern England. I lived in many parts of the UK including my favourite, Scotland. Three years in the highlands was one of the best times of my life.

I went into the Pub business at 18 years old and became a Publican at the age of 24. That came to an end due to marital problems and I decided to make the move to the USA. I have been here since 1983, got married and had a Daughter who is now 27 years old. I again had issues in my marriage and was divorced.

I have had my own Handyman and furniture delivery businesses. Then back into the service industry as a Pizzeria Manager until the restaurant folded. My good friend asked me to help him with his Commercial Diving business and that was the start of a 15 year career underwater.

I am at present waiting to leave the USA and plan on moving to Panama.
